Latest Orthoptera Records:
Whilst surveying round the wider Chester Zoo grounds yesterday, I found a single Slender Ground-hopper (Tetrix subulata). This is a new site for the species in Cheshire.
Once I've validated the latest batch of Orthoptera records, I'll put the current distribution maps up on the Forum.
Cheers
Paul

The Distribution maps are now available on the Forum. Whilst out at Delamere Forest yesterday for National Biodiversity Day we found both Common and Slender Ground Hoppers!!

I found both slender and common groundhoppers at Chester Zoo yesterday, whilst Mottled Grasshopper can now be seen at Little Budworth Common - best to look on the drier sandy areas for this species.

Mottled Grasshopper was found today at a new site - Hogshead Wood near Nunsmere Hall. The CMI day in the area also found Common Groundhopper at Abbott's Moss and several species of Ladybird and Shieldbug - the latter including Heather Shieldbug and Blue Shieldbug, both species for which there are less than half-dozen records on RODIS!!
